Arestech SM-115PW/VM-2100 15.6″ PCAP Sunlight Readable Touch Monitor with 1,600 Nit Widescreen LCD and Front IP65

The SM-115PW/VM-2100 is the projected capacitive build in the Arestech SM-115(P)(R)W/VM-2100 series, putting a PCAP touch screen over a 15.6 inch, 1,600 nit sunlight readable LCD. It suits kiosks, cab consoles and machine HMIs running widescreen software where operators work the screen bare-handed in bright light.

  • Projected Capacitive Touch: PCAP touch screen for light, bare-finger operation of HMI and kiosk software, behind a front IP65 aluminium die-cast bezel.
  • 1,600 Nit Sunlight Readable LCD: 15.6″ 16:9 widescreen LCD with 1,600 nits, 1000:1 contrast and 170° viewing, readable in direct sunlight.
  • VGA, DVI and DisplayPort Inputs: Three video inputs plus USB 2.0 and COM on the VM-2100 module, with an audio line-in and two 2 W speakers.
  • 9 to 48 V DC with Ignition Sensing: Terminal-block DC input with ignition sensing and a PC/Car mode switch, protected to 52 V over-voltage and -48 V reverse voltage.
  • Panel, VESA or Wall Mount: Operation from -10 °C to 60 °C, with a panel mount kit for a 386 x 247 mm cut-out and 100 x 100 mm VESA holes.

SM-115PW/VM-2100 Overview

Touch screens in bright places face two problems at once: glare that washes out the image, and operators who need to hit the right button first time. The SM-115PW/VM-2100 is the projected capacitive configuration in the Arestech SM-115(P)(R)W/VM-2100 series for that job, a sunlight readable touch screen that pairs PCAP touch with a 15.6 inch widescreen LCD at 1,600 nits.

The panel is a 16:9 widescreen LCD with a 1000:1 contrast ratio and 170° viewing angles horizontally and vertically, which keeps HMI graphics and kiosk menus legible in daylight and from beside the unit. PCAP touch responds to a light bare-finger press, so the SM-115PW/VM-2100 suits software designed for tablet-style interaction on kiosks, cab consoles and machine HMIs running widescreen software. A remote OSD connector lets brightness and input be set from a separate keypad once the monitor is sealed into a panel.

Arestech’s VM-2100 video module on the rear takes VGA, DVI and DisplayPort, with USB 2.0 and COM ports, a line-in for two 2 W internal speakers, a two-pin terminal block for remote power on/off and a remote OSD connector. For operators in heavy gloves, the SM-115RW/VM-2100 uses a 5-wire resistive screen instead, and the SM-115W/VM-2100 drops touch for display-only stations.

Power is 9 to 48 V DC on a three-pin terminal block with ignition sensing and a PC/Car mode switch, protected against over-voltage to 52 V, reverse voltage to -48 V and over-current to 20 A, with an optional 12 V, 90 W adapter for mains sites. The SM-115PW/VM-2100 runs from -10 °C to 60 °C, is rated for 20 Grms shock and 1.5 Grms vibration from 5 to 500 Hz, and fits a 386 x 247 mm panel cut-out or a 100 x 100 mm VESA mount.

Official Arestech UK Distributor

Things Embedded is an official Arestech UK distributor, supplying the SM-115PW/VM-2100 configured and tested for UK vehicle, yard and machine installs. Within the Arestech range the DM-115PW/VM-2100 pairs PCAP touch at 15.6 inch with the same video module at standard brightness, and the SM-115(P)(R)/VM-2100 is the same SM build at 15 inches.

With PCAP touch the SM-115PW/VM-2100 sits among our projected capacitive monitors, our sunlight readable monitors and our 15.6 inch industrial displays. Where bright light and bare-finger touch meet on a kiosk, a cab terminal or a machine HMI, this is the build of the series to specify.
